Nell Flynn hasn't set foot in Suffolk County for ten years. The FBI agent cut ties with her detective father Martin after a childhood scarred by her mother's brutal murder when she was seven. When Martin dies in an accident, Nell returns to her childhood home for the first time in a decade. Detective Lee Davis, her father's former partner, draws her into investigating two recent murders of local women. As Nell digs deeper into the case files, the evidence points in an unthinkable direction. Her own father appears to be the prime suspect. Worse, his colleagues on the police force seem to be covering up his trail. Nell faces an impossible choice between her duty as an FBI agent and her loyalty as a daughter. She must decide whether to expose the man who raised her as a murderer or protect his memory at the cost of justice.
